San Marzano Pasta Bar, Westfield

A healthy, homemade Italian meal that’s also fast and convenient might sound like a contradiction-filled impossibility. As hard-to-believe as it might sound, that's exactly what you get at San Marzano Pasta Bar: wholesome, homestyle Italian cooking served with quickness. Like denizens of any Italian kitchen, the restaurant's chefs value freshness, making their sauces, pesto, and dressings from scratch each day. They also pound out their pizza dough by hand, replicating authentic pizza al taglio as whole, rectangular-shaped pies or quick, easy-to-eat cuts. Along with firing up crispy pizzas, chefs also oversee the restaurant's namesake pasta bar, where guests craft build-your-own homestyle dishes out of numerous pastas and sauces. In addition to grabbing hearty bites, guests can also swing by on their morning commute for a quick capuccino and cornetti on-the-go.
